Attend a virtual Public
Meeting on Nov. 4 to learn more about how the City is planning for the future
of Weston 7
The Weston Road and Highway 7 area is undergoing a transformation. As one of Vaughan’s intensification areas, the City’s Weston 7 Secondary Plan aims to transform it into a distinct and complete community with commercial and retail opportunities, entertainment destinations, open spaces, services and facilities and more, all within walking distance to the Highway 7 Rapidway. Evolving the area to include housing and job options, and prioritizing active and sustainable transportation opportunities is also envisioned – and your input is needed.
